Welcome to Cool Chain Europe 2013

From Brussels, to Amsterdam, to Rotterdam and now Basel... the annual January Cool Chain event continues to bring life science professionals up-to-date information and industry best practices for quality distribution.

Despite pressures to reduce cost, limit risk and 'go green', industry professionals are pushing ahead setting up distribution partnerships, ambient transportation solutions, navigating new markets and very importantly - complying with international regulatory GDP guidelines.
